Why IR Curing Is Critical for Ceramic Coating Longevity & Performance
Infrared curing significantly enhances the performance of ceramic coatings by becoming the catalyst that fortifies the bond between the nano-ceramic particles and your vehicle's surface. IR curing raises the panel temperature to around 140-160°F (60-71°C). This rise in temperature shortens what would normally be days of waiting time for coatings to cure, down to just hours. This is beneficial for car owners eager to use their newly protected vehicles, without the "environmental curing" rate of 7-10 days.

A Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to the surface of a vehicle to provide a hard, durable, and glossy finish that protects the paint finish of various environmental elements, contaminants, and light scratches and while creating a durable hydrophobic layer for ease of cleaning.
A Ceramic Coating typically lasts 3 to 10 or more years, depending on the quality of the product, the level of maintenance, and the environmental conditions it is exposed to. Maintenance is key to the durability of your coating.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, self-healing vinyl film applied to the surface of a vehicle to protect the paint from scratches, chips, and other types of damage.
Auto Detailing is the thorough cleaning, restoration, and finishing of a vehicle to produce a high-quality level finish.
